Would it be good practice to be sure the doors are unlatched and open
a bit before touchdown in a circumstance like this? I'm concerned
about there being enough warping to bind the doors in place.


"DOORS - Unlatch prior to touchdown" is on the forced-landing no-power
checklist. I was also taught to also prop something in there (like a
book or jacket or something).
